GOP DEBATE: Winners and Losers?POLITICAL POLITICAL POLITICAL POLITICAL POLITICAL POLITICALYOUR PERSONAL GPSYou might find your life's destination better if you rememberAMERICA WAS NOT BORN ON FEAR. AMERICA WAS BORN ON COURAGE, ON IMAGINATION AND ON UNBEATABLE DETERMINATION TO DO THE JOB AT HAND - Harry S. TrumanTHE ONLY FOES THAT THREATEN AMERICA ARE THE ENEMIES AT HOME AND THESE ARE IGNORANCE, SUPERSTITION AND INCOMPETENCE - Elbert Hubbard

When all is said and done, this debate will go down as the most watched primary debate in cable history. Previous primary debates drew crowds of seven million. Twenty-four million watched this debate. The debate not only met expectations from an entertainment and substance level, it blew them away. I wished every American would have watched. Sadly, most did not.I BELIEVE THAT THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION GO HAND IN HAND - Kirk Cameron

FOX DEBATE MODERATORS

The Fox moderators were Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier. While they addressed questions on the candidates perceived weakness, they did not ask any "gotcha" questions. The audience gave the moderators a substantial round of applause after the debate.IF YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY THING AMERICA HAS TO OFFER, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T ACCOMPLISH - Geraldine FerraioWHO WERE THE WINNERS AND LOSERS?

CARLA FIORINA

I think each of the dozens of articles I read named Carla Fiorina the winner, even though she was not in the prime time debate. I liked her a lot. She has two problems that might defeat her. Yes, she was the CEO of a Fortune 500 company but she was fired after six years. And, she once fired 30,000 workers. You know what Hilary would do with that.WE CAN'T ALL BE WASHINGTONS BUT WE CAN ALL BE PATRIOTS - C.F. Brown

DONALD TRUMP

Every news source listed Donald Trump as the biggest loser. The crowd was moderate in their reactions except to give the Ohio Governor a rousing cheer. THEY BOOED TWICE! The first time was when only Trump raised his hand in response to Bret Baier's very first question of who would not support the candidate who eventually was chosen as the GOP candidate.FROM EVERY MOUNTAIN SIDE, LET FREEDOM RING - Samuel F. Smith

MEGYN KELLY

The crowd booed when Megyn Kelly questioned Trump's calling women "Fat Pigs, Dogs, Slobs and Disgusting Animals". Trump replied, "Only Rosie O'Donald" saying Kelly didn't like him. Later he said that when she asked that question "She had fire coming out of her eyes and blood coming out of her elsewhere".ANOTHER OF TRUMP'S TOP ADVISERS LEFT HIM TODAY OVER ALL THE TURMOILTRUMP ALTERNATED BETWEEN BEING MEAN, INCOHERENT, PESSIMISTIC, SLOPPY, DISMISSIVE, TESTY, UNPREPARED AND, ULTIMATELY, UNPRESIDENTIAL.
